2007 Frankfurt Auto Show Preview: Mitsubishi officially reveals the Concept-cX

Official photos of Mitsubishi's Frankfurt-bound Concept-cX squirted onto the web yesterday, and today,the automaker has provided full info on the car. Obviously telegraphing a Lancer-based 5-door hatchback/crossover, the Concept-cX is also a showcase for the clean diesel tech and other green innovations the automaker plans to make use of in upcoming production vehicles.

Rather than go the hybrid route, the Concept-cX is powered by a 1.8L Euro 5-compliant Clean Diesel 4-cylinder turbo. The engine selection was made because in Europe, where the eventual production vehicle will be sold, diesel is prevalent. Equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger, particulate filter, and diesel oxidation catalyst, the engine delivers 136 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via Mitsu's twin-clutch SST transmission, which we'll see on the production Evo.
